What it is

Outside only. explained.

An Exterior Wash Only is the simplest service we offer. No interior. Just a proper outside clean — done right, with snow foam pre-wash, two-bucket hand wash technique, and a careful dry to avoid swirl marks.

It's designed for two types of customer: people whose interior is already clean and just want the outside refreshed, and regulars on a tight schedule who don't need the inside touched today.

This is not a "good enough" service — it's the same exterior process we use in every Quick Clean, Wash & Protect and Full Clean. We don't cut corners just because it's the cheaper option.

What's Included

Same exterior process as our pricier services — just without the interior work. Forty minutes, in and out, properly done.

Common Questions

Exterior Wash Only FAQs.

Why is this cheaper than your other services?

Because we're not doing the interior. The exterior wash itself takes 40 minutes — interior adds another 30–60 minutes minimum, plus consumables. Skipping the interior saves time, which saves you money.

Is the wash quality the same as a Quick Clean?

Yes — the exterior process is identical. Same products, same technique, same care. The only difference is we don't touch the inside.

Can I add interior on the day?

Yes — if we have time in the slot, we can upgrade to a Quick Clean (£60+) on the day. Just ask when we arrive.

Do you offer this as a recurring service?

Yes — exterior-only is a great basis for a weekly or fortnightly wash. Message us on WhatsApp and we can set up a regular schedule with a small discount for commitment.

Is this safe for ceramic-coated or PPF cars?

Yes. We use pH-neutral shampoos and ceramic-safe products throughout. Tell us when booking if your car has ceramic coating or paint protection film and we'll adjust products accordingly.

What if it rains afterwards?

A clean car attracts less dirt — even after rain, a freshly washed car stays cleaner for longer than a dirty one would. If it rains within an hour of finishing, we don't come back free, but we can pre-treat with sealant for an extra £10 to give you 2–4 weeks of rain protection.

What's your cancellation policy?

Free cancellation more than 24 hours before. Inside 24 hours, late cancellations are non-refundable.

Why is this cheaper than other services?

Because it's only the outside — no interior work at all. Around 40 minutes start to finish. Perfect if your interior is already tidy and you just need the outside refreshed.

Is it just a quick rinse?

No. It's the same technique we use for the exterior portion of every other service — proper snow foam, two-bucket wash, non-acid wheel cleaner. Just no interior work.

How often should I book this?

Every 2-3 weeks if your car is parked outside in London. Every 4-6 weeks if garaged. It's designed as a maintenance-frequency service.

Can I add interior cleaning afterwards?

Yes — but it works out cheaper and faster to book a Quick Clean (£60) which includes interior. Exterior Wash is best as a standalone for cars that don't need interior work.
